We explored a variety of sizes before narrowing in on a smaller pack.
By bringing some of our sketched ideas into rough paper prototypes, we determined that we wanted a smaller cross-body bag that included multiple accessible compartments.
We narrowed our focus on a cross body bag that could be used on either side of the body to allow for more flexible use. Beyond that, we made a point to include a two-way radio clip, an external storage solution for tape, and a larger compartment in the front flap of the bag.
In keeping with the role of ATs as medical professionals who work with multiple athletes, we created a color scheme of black with red accents in order to not clash with team colors. We focused on a waterproof and durable material that is able to withstand harsh weather.
Tape is held externally by an elastic band and toggle inspired by fly fishing that keeps it both in reach and secure.
For other important supplies that require quick and easy access, an accordion pocket with a magnetic latch is located.
A radio clip is located on the upper shoulder strap to keep a two-way radio handy.
